There is one obvious component that can be added to public transportation such as light rail that will get people to use it. That component would be the always available force of law. Certainly we are moving in that direction. <br /> <br />But rather than getting people out of their cars and into transit, I believe that our cars will be made into transit. Cars will be factory equipped with GPS and a computer that will turn every road into a toll road. Then the tolls will be constantly adjusted to control traffic according to traffic conditions, purpose of trip, ability to pay, etc. <br /> <br />It would take decades to build all of the light rail that is envisioned to solve traffic congestion whereas this smart car technology is right on our doorstep. Ten years from now, the light rail concept will be an antique. <br />
